In a game of ping-pong, suppose a paddle moves at 20 miles per hour and hits a ball with 20 mph in the opposite direction. ... In the new problem, a ball moving at -40 mph hits a non-moving surface; if the collision is elastic (no energy lost), that ball returns with the same speed but in the opposite direction, i.e. its velocity reverses sign. ... Something very similar happens when a spacecraft with velocity v passes close to a moving planet and is deflected. ...

... Since the fast mode window is necessarily small, the source PSF fills much of the window (clearly evident for bright sources). ... As such, the source and background extraction apertures may be truncated by the window. ... While often there will be only one object in the image, one should check for spurious detections which could affect the analysis of the target source and also for missed sources or prominent objects in the window, which may contaminate the target. ...
